Quotes

Social networking for contacting Alumini
'Facebook and MySpace is particularly good to talk the same language as the students. It's been published recently that employers are looking at prospective employees MySpace and Facebook accounts.'
Jeannie McRae Event Management

Utilising technology in the kitchen
'My aim was to motivate students in a different learning environment...the students responded with enthusiasm and their participation was above my expectations'
Quirino Colecchia Commercial Cookery

Technology to engage student learning
'Learnscope has given me time to create resources to teach my students in a way that they enjoy. They like new technology, they love their mobile phones and it's been a good way to communicate at their level'
Patricia Hearn - Alcohol and other Beverages

Working together as a team

'there are people who have very limited understanding of how to use all this stuff, then there’s people who are intermediate, I'd put myself as intermediate I'd understand some of the terminology so we'll have to start off where we are all at...' Rob Long - Event management
